Adapted from Elia Barceló's critically acclaimed novel, this timeless, epic romance directed by Olga Osorio is a remarkable story of impossible love. Set across decades, this captivating tale delves into the passionate relationship of a couple whose love is trapped between parallel times.
1999. Juan Pablo (Mario Casas), a skilled goldsmith, embarks on a journey from Spain to New York where he will exhibit some of his latest works. Before leaving, a visit to his hometown triggers memories from 25 years earlier.
Plunged into a flashback, his journey takes him back in time to the summer when he met the woman who would change his life forever: Celia (Michelle Jenner), a forty-year-old seamstress. But unfortunately, their age difference pre-determines their great, passionate love story is doomed from the beginning.
Determined to alter their fate, Juan Pablo endeavours to rewrite their story, making a solemn promise to Celia before his return to 1999. But can their love transcend the confines of time, or is it destined to be lost forever?
